Jem dragged his load of chips off the
card and stacked tuem before HIM.
Gimme ernuther pin, he said to Tim,
in hoarse voice, and again the man COM
piled.
Taking the tattered sock in his hand, he
closed the rents with the pins and swept
his chips inside. Then, pointing to the
dealer, he said.
Here, Dot, is your Christmas present.
Go to him and get it cashed. Gentlemen,
I've been taught a lesson, and I've played
my last card.
A silence fell upon the scene, and naught
was card save tie mutlled click of the
chips as the dealer sized them up, then,
with muttered curse, thrust their value
into the tuttered sock.
"GOOd-by, boys, and merry Christmas to
you, said Jem, as he perched Dot on his
shoulder and passed through the door.
Five minutes later a yell of dlsappoint-
ment rang through the gamblers den.
Boys, the banks busted!" said the
dealer, and I've gone ont of the business
for good. That sock was a hoodOo"
1t is now ten years since that eVentful
night. Jem has not touched card, and
he is never tired of taking Dot on his
knee and referring to the time when he
was Saved by Sock"

POPCORN AND CIDER.

A FAIR exchange-The compliments Of
the season.
A New YEARS call--Please remit.
SAD is the heart that cannot rejoice at
Christmas time.
No STOCKING is so small that Santa
Claus will overlook it.
On Christmas Day, though the turkeys
tender, the eaters stuff.
HAPPY New Year, Judge" Chestnut,
Major"
WHAT though your purse is empty, pray,
If hearts are full of JOY to-day?
The same good resolutions made last
January will do for this year.
JUST notice how nice your best girl will
be from now till after the holiday season.
A CHRISTMAS goose-The man who
thinks Santa Claus fraud.
IT is not always the largest stocking
which catches the most valuable Christmas
gift.
IT'S a wise husband who prepares to pay
for the Christmas gifts received from his
dear wife.
SAY not that Christ has been born in
your heart if the poor be not borne upon it.
New YEARS calls will never go out of
fashion while there are bill collectors to
make them.
In giving Christmas presents be sure and
keep your presence of mind. Don't be ex-
travagant.

HE'D "COOT THAI ROPE.

A west bound passenger train was snow
ed-in near small mining town and its
passengers obliged to spend their Christ
mas there. During the day one of the
party suggested that they should visit an
unused mine in the vicinity. AS they were
passing one of the small shafts gentle
man looked down and in doing so dropped
his hat
Hold on a minute" he exclaimed to the
rest of the party, who were walking toward
the main shaft, "Ive lost my hat down this
shaft"
"NivermOind, sorr, uts not dape ut all, at

the Irish guide who accompanied them.
His assistant lowered him into the shaft.
Soon voice from its depths cried
"Oi have it, Pull up, Dinny!"
Dinny had been called away for a mo-
ment, and a gentleman of the party had
taken charge of tie windlass. The man
was a member of minstrel troupe, and an
incorrgihle practical joker.
"All roi2ht, Moike, he said, initiating

to be at tie top of the shaft.
